SATURDAY 1st / DECEMBER 2018.
We managed a little lie in this morning
before we had to get up, to put out the gas-bottle to be exchanged later, after
freshening up, as usual, on a Saturday, Brenda was on the breakfast rota, so we
had her famous ‘ Campo’ Poached Eggs on Toast ‘ – boiled for her, with toast
fingers, with mugs of strong ‘ PG’ Tips Tea!
Lee than called in and re-set the new ‘URL’
on the ‘IPTV’ system and at the same time he updated the ‘ BBC I Player &
ITV Hub’ – we then had a good catch up with all their news, as we don’t see him
& Daniela, with little princess ‘Reina’ as much now.
This is all very good news, as next
week, on Wednesday 5th December on ‘ Channel Four’ in the afternoon, it’s the episode of “ A
Place in the Sun’ in which I’m starring! It was recorded/filmed back in the
middle of October, when Sandra & Bill had just arrived, our friends &
neighbours, Jo & Mike, who’s house was on the programme, for sale, just
around the corner at the bottom of our street, texted us last night to let us
know that it’s going to be on! Catch it if you can!!
They have also asked us if it was possible
that we could ‘ House-Sit’ their Villa over in Elvira, past Marbella, in the
New Year, for a couple of weeks, along with their two dogs, which we have said
that we would consider it, watch this space.
This morning we have yet another
beautiful day down here on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’ – the sun broke through earlier
and the sky is bright blue, the clouds have cleared and the light breeze has
dropped, by this lunchtime, it’s due to reach 18/19degs+ - tomorrow we are in
for more of the same, next week is now looking very settled, dry & sunny, all
week, even going a little warmer, hovering in the low 20s+ - the longer range
forecast, for the following week is also looking good, watch this space.
See below a picture of the ‘ Puerto de
la Duquesa Marina’ this morning, at it’s best!
On the sports front this weekend; over
in the ‘ Premier League’ Manchester City welcome AFC Bournemouth and then
tomorrow it’s the ‘ Match of the Day ‘ as Liverpool welcome Everton in the ‘
Derby’ game! Over here in ‘ La Liga’ Real Madrid are at home to Valencia &
tomorrow Barcelona welcome Villarreal. This afternoon the ‘ National Hunt
Racing, on ITV, is from Newbury & Newcastle.
At lunchtime we went up to ' Bar Rojas' for a cool drink, sat outside in the warm sunshine, Monica gave us a 'on the house' ration of her Paella as it's her 1st anniversary of taking over the business, we then popped along to ' Bar Castillo' for another late afternoon drink!!
For our supper this evening we are
having ‘ Grilled Fillet Steaks’ – cooked on a very hot griddle-plate ‘ Med-Rare’-
then left to rest, garnished with Seared Asparagus Spears, Shallots &
Button Mushrooms, with Whole ‘ French’ Green Beans and the classic ‘ Pommes Pont
Neuf’ - thick-cut, twice-cooked ‘ Chips’ accompanied with ‘Bearnaise’ sauce
& Dijon Mustard.
This afternoon/evening we will be back
on the ‘IPTV’ system catching up with all the programmes that we have missed
over the past week!
